# Replacing the Printer Paper

### Replacing the Printer Paper

The terminal uses 2 ¼” or 58mm thermal paper rolls to print transaction receipts.

#### **To replace the printer paper:**

1. On the back of the terminal at the top, lift the lever with the contactless logo to unlock and open the printer cover. <img src="https://documentation.payfacto.com/Terminals/A80/CA-EN/assets/images/A80_ContactlessLogo.png" alt="A80 contactless logo" data-size="line">

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: The printer cover opens on a hinge, it does not come off the terminal.
{% endhint %}

2. Place the roll of printer paper in the paper tray, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of paper beyond the printer's cutter as shown in the following example:&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
IMPORTANT! Make sure the paper unrolls from the back of the roll, otherwise the printer will be unable to print the transaction receipt.
{% endhint %}

3. Close the printer cover until it snaps into place and remove any excess paper.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/usa/terminals/countertop/pax-a80/a80-setup-guide/working-with-the-terminal/replacing-the-printer-paper.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
